loretta lynch was engaged in concealment of her own behavior. fbi's behavior and of the chain of command that we are supposed to be able to rely on even when it is stressed to give just results. i believe there would be appropriate grievances regarding the obstruction and frustration of justice that was supposed to be occurring. frankly, this is where jeff sessions' department of justice should have been doing. over the last two years, we had an opportunity to get the truth and show the american people. they were so resistant for the calls to accountability. we just didn't get the right answers. i fear that we may have a circumstance where hillary clinton, loretta lynch, and james comey might never see the inside of the jail cell thae they deserve. shame on i us for not being covered during these last years. >> judge jeanine: you know what? shame on the republican leadership. gentlemen, thank you so much for being with us. next, you are not going to believe what democrats are attacks president trump for now. the president takes a another shot at

loretta lynch used a different name, and on and on and on.o these people -- how are they not even i brought up on disciplinary charges before at least the attorneys' grievance committee? >> well, you are absolutely right. loretta lynch was engaged in concealment of her own behavior. of the fbi's behavior and of the chain of command that we are supposed to be age to rely on even when it is stressed. i believe there would be grievances regarding the frustration of justice that was supposed to be greg. frankly which is what jeff sessions department should be doing. we had an opportunity to get the truth. >> judge jeanine: same on them. >> resistance because of their aopportunitiability. we didn't get the right answers. i haver you may have a circumstance where hillary clinton and hillary clinton and james comey may never see the inside of the jay cell. >> and shame on us. >> and shame on the republican leadership. you are not going to believe what democrats are attacks president trump for now. the president takes a another shot at the far left >

this has been testified to by comey and loretta lynch previously.lynch's aspect of this involves her asking comey to refer to the clinton investigation as a matter and not an investigation. comey said that that was part of the reason he went forward with the july press conference. it completely backfired if that was what she had. lynch and bill clinton had a car mac meeting that they said -- >> it was a ridiculous meeting at the time. >> it has been covered. there is no there there left and the fact to comey's point, they want to do this in secret so that as he says, bits of it can be selectively leaked. >> that's an interesting point. the truth is as someone who -- i covered the white house and congress and i know that the white house considers once they notified congress of something, it's like notifying the press. >> exactly. this is definitely i would say a pr move for the republican base and the chairman is retiring from congress as is trey gowdy. we have seen other republicans, jim jordan comes to mind and rallied the bases and themselves arou

james comey has been called to appear on december the 3rd, and loretta lynch one day later. already comey is signaling he will fight the subpoena tweeting this. i'm still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions, but i will resist a closed door thing because i've seen enough of their selective leaking and distorti distortion. he continues, let's have a hearing and invite everyone to see. joining me live pete williams and former u.s. attorney joyce vance. pete, let me start with you. what does the outgoing chairman of the judiciary committee want to see happen on the 3rd and 4th of december? he has talked about this for some time. i can count probably how many days are left for him. >> that's the issue here. there's basically only 20 hearing days until christmas for the house republicans and then of course in the new year, the democrats take over the house. they're really trying to race the clock here. the republicans on the house judiciary committee especially have been strongly trying to pursue an investigation of what went on during the clinton e-mail investigati

what loretta lynch's role was. why he wasn't forward. did he get approval or did he make the announcement. more important is the investigation into a presidential campaign, what was the real basis for that. usually when you have an investigation, fbi investigation, there's a crime and you're trying to find out who committed it. here there was no evidence of a crime. it seemed as if the investigation was in search of a crime. >> james comey says i'll talk do you but i'll do it in an open setting. does he have a point? do you want any hearing to be open to the public? >> i think we can do both. i think it's important to have behind closed doors. you can recall when james comey would testify, we'd ask him questions and he wouldn't answer them and said he had to do them behind closed doors because they were so sensitive and secret. if you want to get information out, often it is necessary to do it behind closed doors and you can declassify what can be made public. he used to tell us one thing behind closed doors and give a difference impress

loretta lynch about their shady immunity deals for the clinton gang.onald trump should also ask doj, fbi, why they still protect clinton, comey, et cetera. these high profile subpoenas come at the very end of the republican's ability to issue subpoenas because once democrats take over they are the ones with the subpoena power. ed? >> ed: here now republican congressman peter king a member of the house intelligence committee. he joins us live from new york. good evening, peter. >> thank you, ed, how are you? >> ed: good, congressman. i wonder, james comey selectively leaked information in order to force the naming of a special counsel to investigate president trump and his aides. what moral authority does he hold tonight to try and dictate the terms of his testimony. >> as far as not one of those people opposed to jim comey ice director. i have been disappointed what he has done since he left. looking back what he did when he was fbi. for instance, he used -- intelligence committee, he will be telling us one thing behind the scenes at closed hearings an

what is james comey having to deal with this, what is loretta lynch having to do with this.is is they know and understand that they are no longer in control or will no longer be in control. i think to your earlier statement to errol it's a slap on the way out the door. generally it's up to the party in power. both people, james comey and loretta lynch, have indicated that they would move forward, you know, look, in a public transparent proceeding. that hasn't happened. they want closed door session where subpoenas are going to be flying. ultimately it's a search for the truth. i don't see what the working chase are left, to your point, how this is going to -- working days that are left, to your point, how this is going to get done by the 3rd. >> there's a reporting by the "washington post" that president trump is questioning the vice president's loyalty. and it's happening so often now that it's alarming some of his advisers. this passage stood out in the reporting from the post. some trump advisers, primarily outside the white house, suggested that while mr. pence remants l

and with loretta lynch? would it be because they would need classified information?>> that is the reason for closed-door hearings. you know, the director of the fbi and in loretta lynch's case, the former attorney general, of course, are privy to all sorts of classified information. and if they were testifying about matters that shouldn't be public, either because they're classified or just confidential for some reason, they would need to be behind closed doors, but there's been so much public testimony from james comey, at least, already it doesn't seem to me that anything they would be legitimately be looking into couldn't be public or they could take a small portion into closed session. >> so james comey's attorney calls the subpoena process an abusive process, a divergence from house rules, and its presumption of transparency. what's the case they have to prove here? as laura said, they're clearly willing to take this to court. >> what's most likely to happen, especially considering the timing of the turnover of the committee, is the clock is going to run out. so

what about loretta lynch? >> yeah, that's the really interesting one. link would be much less comfortable doing this. james comey seems to relish being in the limelight when he can do a bit of grandstanding. you know he sold a book. he was -- while he was refusing to testify on capitol hill he was out in front of the cameras all over the place selling his book. so he likes that limelight. i think loretta lynch is a much more private person and there is something -- she also knows that the meeting that she had with president clinton during the height of the election campaign and the height of the hillary clinton email investigation was a misstep, a very bad misstep and raises legitimate questions about the probety. >> rick: we want to get jim himes takes of it and he thought it was much to do about nothing. >> every time these individuals have the opportunity to speak if public, the truth comes out. truth is not the friend of those republicans like devin nunes and bob goodlatte who are desperate, desperate to get back to the topic of hillary clinton and h

the outgoing republican leaderser of the house issues subpoenas to james comey and loretta lynch. why comey says he may not comply and later president trump made his thoughts on migrants very clear. now hillary clinton is in hot water after she said europe's leaders should no longer offer refugees and support to migrants. you are watching msnbc. this isn't just any moving day. this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. show me decorating shows. this is staying connected with xfinity to make moving... simple. easy. awesome. stay connected while you move with the best wifi experience and two-hour appointment windows. click, call or visit a store today. >>> yeah, i have, actually. and very innocent, short period of time. very early on. there was no deletion of e-mails like the 33,000 plus probably another 100,000 that hillary clinton did after she got a subpoena. there was no bleach pit. there was n

let's get to james comey, loretta lynch and rod rosenstein. you want to have them all in before the new democratic leadership comes in. what do you want to get out of them? >> we have to finish our investigation into what happened in 2016 at the fbi and the early months of 2017, and these are all key witnesses. we interviewed many, many witnesses. but these three are key witnesses. james comey was the head of the fbi during all this time with the clinton email investigation and the so-called trump russia investigation. loretta lynch was the attorney general until the end of the obama administration, and rod rosenstein came in at the end of this. but it's important he answer questions regarding the allegations reported in the "new york times" that he conducted a meeting with other people in the justice department and the fbi talking about whether he would we are a wire in meeting with his boss, the fbi director, or call together cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment to have shim declared incompetent to hold office. the public is entitled

he wouldn't have privilege on a discussion with loretta lynch because that is information that isn't part of the executive privilege he could invoke especially given that these are former -- former holders of public office. so you don't have that kind of opportunity for privilege in in situation. congress can get to the information. it it can get to the conversation. the question is, what do they really want it for. >> and the answer, you're saying, paul, is it's political. because if they were looking at legalities here you would have all coined of things that could blow up in their face and could embarrass them even to their base if if were to go a certain way, which might be why former fbi director comey is saying let's have it wide open >> so they're scared now the mouse will start exercising the constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight of the trump administration, which the republicans have not done. so we already know there is going to be a ton of subpoenas starting with attorney general -- acting attorney general matt whitaker on from the democrats on the house. we h

he said a while ago about loretta lynch that classified information could cast doubt on lynch's abilitystigate clinton. we know their stuff behind the scenes that is classified and has not come out in this open door. >> arthel: rachel, let me ask you -- why do you think kevin mccarthy or paul ryan didn't want this? >> rachel: i've no idea and i don't know who his sources that said that. it's a great question. why so late? and, what comey is trained to do when i was obviously run out the clock. he's got his lawyer responding, saying "we don't want to do it behind closed doors, we want a hearing." of course he does want to go back and close doors per then he's under subpoena, he has to tell the truth, there is no information off limits because he can say classified information. >> arthel: why wouldn't he tell the truth? >> rachel: i think their shady business. there were shady immunity deals prove there was not any classification of the law pair they use the dirty dossier to sartre's investigation. they don't want anyone looking under the lid which was a conspiracy, in my pinning him to t

with the subpoenas for former director of the fbi james comey and former obama aide lor rett -- loretta lynch. comey has been called to appear and lynch one day later. comey said that he will fight the subpoena citing this, i am happy to sit in the light and answer all questions, but i will resist a closed door thing, because i have seen enough of the selective leaking and distortion. let's have a hearing and invite everyone to see. this morning, new york congressman pete king talked about whether or not politics is at play here. >> this is something that should have been done a while ago, and it is to me, real questions of why the fbi director comey conducted himself and why he began this investigation in the first place and why in many cases he was telling us one thing behind the scenes and refusing to tell it publicly, and he told us all along that donald trump was not a subject of the investigation, but he never said it publicly. >> i have a great panel for discuss i discussing this. we have leeann, and also paul butler and daily beast author jo jonathan alter and new york times justice r

we haven't heard anything from loretta lynch commenting have we? >> no. quickly respond this morning saying he's more than happy to sit for another round of testimony in front of the committee. his one stipulation was that he doesn't want to do it behind closed doors. he wants to do it out in public. that's what he's tweeting. that's what his lawyer is saying. let's take a look at what the tweet read. it says "happy thanksgiving. got a subpoena from house republicans. i'm still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions but i will resist a closed door thing because i've seen enough of the select of leaking and distortion. let's have a hearing." . they're going to fight in court for the testimony to be public. you hit on the most important thing off the top, that this is about timing, the republicans are well aware they're about to lose control of the house. >> what about george papadopoulos, former campaign adviser. talk about how his tweets are coming back to haunt him. >> so this is a 180 turn in terms of his tone. when he was sentenced for lyin

loretta lynch has not commented publicly. >>> fire officials in northern california say the camp fire50,000 acres which is an area bigger than the city of chicago. the death toll is up by one from yesterday at 84. the national weather service says so far the rains have hit the sweet spot. that means helping firefighters without washing debris and mud down the hills. >>> and americans inspired by thanksgiving spirit are helping fire victims. guy fieri helping a charity are with jose andreas serving dinner. this man, james faircloth, spent the day driving with his daughter from denver in an rv filled with items to donate including the rv. >> and there is alan pierce. a hospital nurse who helped evacuate patients and staff before running into gridlock out of paradise. that burned his truck and nearly cost him his life. toyota heard about the story on social media and replaced his truck with a new and improved model. >> our thoughts are with the victims in california. >>> ahead, european leaders vote this weekend on a new brexit deal, but there are signs it could unravel. we are live in b

thursday they announced subpo a subpoenas for james comey and loretta lynch. comey says he's willing to sit in the light but he doesn't want to sit in the closed door thing. anna, what do you know about jerome corsi and wa he might be getting out of this plea deal? >> he says he is in the plea negotiations. it's unclear why he wants to make all of that public. kne he feels under pressure. kneels he must have slipped up and made some mistake that contradicted one communication in the binder of communications that investigators have been going through over the past two months. he told me he thought it was probably a perjury trap issue. that means they caught him lying. we don't have any details on the nature of these plea negotiations. he was providing stone opposition research in the summer and fall of 2016, that key period right before the john podesta e-mail. the question is did corsi did have some kind of advance knowledge about what wikileaks was going to do and pass it stone and or anyone in the trump campaign. those are the big questions. >> what do you m

committee serving up subpoenas to former fbi director james comey and former attorney general loretta lynchthe committee wants to question them on their decisions at the fbi and doj during the 2016 presidential election. comey tweeted this morning confirming this a pita saying "i will resist a closed-door thing because i've seen enough of their selective leaking and distortion." lets invite a hearing and invite everyone to see." adding "mr. comey embraces and welcomes a hearing open to the public." it represents an abuse of process, a divergence from house rules and its presumption of transparency. republicans have wanted to talk to comey and lynch to determine if there was any anti-trump bias that affected their agencies when ite came to the clinton email case and the trump-russia collusion case. comey has offered to testify as long as it was public, a sentiment shared by many democrats. others have questioned the last-minute nature of these subpoenas. >> the idea that there is at this 11th hour subpoena of things that have been litigated, been vetted, we know what happened. it seems like

switching gears, former fbi director james comey and loretta lynch were issued subpoenas to privately testify before congress about the fbi's investigations -- about their actions in the 2016 both. both comey and lynch agreed to do this publicly earlier. there was no response. what's the significance of this last-minute request? >> certainly. i do think at this point you have republicans who have vowed, republicans on the hill who have vowed to investigate this and there's been questions raised about the extent to which republicans are interested in getting to the bottom of the extent of interference in the election had 2016. this is a means of them trying to tie some of this up. i think both jim comey as well as former attorney general loretta lynch wanting to do this in public is an interesting move by them with republicans -- if republicans would agree, i'd be surprised. we remember the side show that was the initial james comey hearings of almost two years ago. i think they would be hess hadn't to do lrgs -- hesitant to do hearings like that again. there's an argument to be made i

loretta lynch said she and bill clinton spoke only about their grandchildren and playing golf.an assistant da in my office, if an assistant da worked for me, had a conversation with his spouse of someone under activecriminal investigation for 30 minutes, i would fire the person . forget about anything else, i would fire him . this is fundamental and they do it in front of all of us. and that's what's so infuriating. i hate it when people lie.i hate it when they make believe the law is the same, it's not. he took the bandages off lady justice and said you're going to protect the democrats and they said we're going to frame the republicans. and that's what my book is about . my book is not just about donald trump, the man i know. it's not just about the media and hollywood immigrants, we're going to open it up to questions in a few minutes but the book makes it clear what happened. there is a deep state. i don't know if any of you ever watch "the view". well, i think it's when whoopi goldberg said what is the deep state? and who's in charge? and that's i think when the wheels fel

they just subpoenaed former fbi director james comey and loretta lynch to testify in closed session about the 2016 campaign. coming just days after we learned more about president trump's interests in having james comey and hillary clinton investigated. comey says he's going to fight the subpoena, calling for a public hearing, telling republicans enough selective leaking. the hearings are scheduled to take place during the first week of december. what's the likelihood that that is going to happen? >> the chairman is holding these hearings, his power evaporates. this is like the last gasps of the old republican -- >> lawmakers leave for the holidays on december 13th. when they return to washington, democrats will be in charge of the house. we know there are 12 targets for investigations. that's according to "the washington post." i should say that list grew this week after we learned of ivanka trump's use of private e-mail. surprising no one, a president who continues to assail hillary clinton of her e-mails has a different set of rules when it comes to his family. >> very innocent. a shor

also subpoenaed, loretta lynch. we are live in washington with the latest.emocrats and james comey have been issued a private hearing, which is what this has been calling for. what is the reaction? >> what we are learning is the house judiciary committee has reportedly asked them to testify at a deposition. james comey tweeting this morning "happy thanksgiving. got a subpoena from house republicans. i'm still happy to sit in the light and answer all the questions, but i will resist a closed-door thing because i have seen enough of their distortion. let's have a hearing and invite everyone to see, "while a lawyer for comey saying he embraces and welcomes a hearing open to the public, but the subpoena issued yesterday represents a divergence from house rules and a presumption of transparency. accordingly, mr. comey will room resist in court this abuse of process. democrats want this to be in full view. only as long as it was open, but republicans, including the chairman of the committee, they have insisted on closed doors. >> it is simply not appropriate for m

james comey and loretta lynch from the beginning had said they would completely answer questions voluntarilyrly they have nothing to hide. so this is not just a political stunt but it's a political stunt that is going to waste taxpayer money, resources and time. and what we need to do right now is to focus on the business at hand, which is again as alice said to get to the bottom of what happened with the russia meddling into our elections and to frankly figure out what role trump and his campaign had in helping the russians to meddle in these elections, if any. >> so -- >> and if they are convinced that there's nothing there, then they wouldn't be so resistant to mueller getting to the truth. >> let's talk about potential political stunts here. with the president this morning saying i like nancy pelosi. i think she deserves to be speaker of the house. if she needs a few republicans to jump on board, maria, he says he can deliver them. is he getting involved to make a mess, to make sure this lucrative foil for the republicans stays at front and center? >> that's the question of the hour, vic

comey and former attorney general loretta lynch. 15 days left of the senate to get work done, 12 in the house and also what is the end game? >> that is for the american public to decide come if there's only 12 days left, they should be a bipartisan issue. it shouldn't matter who is sitting in the chair, republicans or democrats enforcing the laws fairly amongst all citizens is a paramount issue for this company. if we prosecute crimes and people, we are really going down a slippery slope that a lot of third world countries operate under. 12 days left, if the democrats can it, what happens to them in the next election? is going to be for the american people to decide. do we want laws that are politically motivated and we have political prosecution? >> arthel: is the idea to improve that hillary clinton had nefarious activities going on in the election? and also, are any statutes of limitation that could prevent any potential or possible legal charges or indictments? >> no statute of limitations or five years we are still right in the

he-he-he-he. >> charles: house republicans slapping republican and loretta lynch with subpoenas.nt answers on what went down during the clinton e-mail investigation and they want them behind closed doors. comey saying it's either out in the open or it won't happen at all. andy biggs is one of the members of congress and joining us now. thank for being here. comey out loudly about the island that hey, you know what? republicans will leak out the wrong information and he wants to make this in the eyes of everyone. let the whole world see it. what's wrong with that? >> mr. comey is an experienced hand. he understands that when the congress does it, we've seen them down in committee, everybody gets five minutes a whack. just about the time you think you're getting to some meet, goes over to the other side. not only that, what i have found is there's pontification that goes on. last time i interviewed peter strzok, the democrats were hollering and screaming and yelling and mr. comey knows that. he knows the worst place to find the truth is in a committee hearing where each person gets

committee serving up subpoenas to former fbi director james comey and former attorney general loretta lynche committee wants to question the two on their decisions at the fbi and doj during the 2016 presidential election. comey tweeted this morning, confirming the subpoena, "i will resist a closed door thing because i've seen enough of their selected leaking and distortion. let's have a hearing and invite everyone to see." an attorney for comey said the subpoena is a way to promote a "false narrative," calling it a political stunt, adding "mr. comey and comey embraces and welcomes a hearing up into the public, but the subpoena issued yesterday represent an abuse of process. a divergence from house rules and its presumption of transparency." republicans have wanted to talk to comey and went to determine if there was any anti-trump bias that affected their agencies when it came to the client an email case and so trump-russia collusion case. comey has previously offered to testify as long as it was public, a sentiment shared by many democrats. others have questioned the last-minute nature of t

when loretta lynch left her post, that elevated sally yates from deputy attorney general to be acting attorney general. so that's why she was acting attorney general, she had to do all that crazy stuff once people who appeared to be agents of a form p foreign power started moving into the white house. under normal circumstances, firing jeff sessions for any reason would elevate this hapma deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to be acting attorney general. the president didn't just fire attorney general jeff session and have rod rosenstein step into the to be job to fill the gig until somebody else could be nominated to take the job full time. instead, he fired the attorney general jeff sessions and instantly installed a new guy, who has been described as trump's eyes and ears in the justice department for months now. he installed a new guy to become the acting attorney general, slotting him in above rod rosenstein. and the new guy will take over instantly all of the work at the justice department, including taking control of the mueller investigation, taking control of the mueller i
